2012 Volkswagen Tiguan

2012 Volkswagen Tiguan

It puts the 'sport' in sport utility. Dynamic new front- and rear-end styling. Standard 200-horsepower 2.0-liter TSI engine and six-speed manual transmission. Head-turning available 19-inch alloy wheels from Volkswagen's R GmbH division. It's no wonder the 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan is being described as the GTI of compact sport utility vehicles.

Redesigned 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan Incorporates Brand's New Design Identity

Source: Volkswagen | Published: Thu Mar 03, 2011

(continued from above)

Comprehensively re-designed and updated, the 2012 Tiguan brings new standards of design aesthetics, driving dynamics, safety features, and precision German engineering to one of the fastest-growing segments of the market.

And the 2102 Tiguan balances its performance focus with noteworthy gains in fuel economy. An array of detail technical enhancements - in line with Volkswagen's 'Think Blue' strategy - sees highway fuel economy gains from 25 mpg to an EPA-estimated 27 mpg for automatic transmission models.

New for 2012

The Tiguan's major design refresh sees its front end updated to incorporate the new, horizontal Volkswagen brand 'face' in line with the Tiguan's larger sibling, the Touareg.

The Tiguan bears familial design elements to the Touareg, including a redesigned grille that features two horizontal blades each featuring twin chrome strips. In the center is a prominent VW badge, while at each end are new, swept-back headlamps housed behind tough, polycarbonate covers.

Standard on the range-topping SEL models are Bi-Xenon headlights with advanced lighting system (AFS) illumination that conform with the steering wheel to turn up to 15 degrees for increased visibility. Adding a new dimension is the U-shaped band of 14 LEDs around the AFS lenses that not only act as daytime running lights, but add a striking visual element to the front of the new Tiguan.

To heighten the 2012 Tiguan's new style, there's a new honeycomb grille section beneath the redesigned bumper, and beneath that a gray, skid-plate-style panel with three distinctive openings. Integrated into the new bumper at each side are honeycomb-backed panels housing stylish new fog lights. Below them are new black air-flow guides. It's a tough new look for the urban jungle.

At the rear, distinctive new two-part taillights echo those of the latest Touareg and feature signature L-shaped lighting elements. The design of the lights is also sleeker and more compact.

A dramatic new feature of the 2012 Tiguan is its new 19-inch 'Savannah' alloy wheels that come standard on the SEL mode. These stylish, 10-spoke alloys have been developed by Volkswagen's recently-renamed R GmbH performance division, which was also responsible for the new Golf R.
